Major FF fundraiser named as tax defaulter

It's been reported today that close friend of former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, Des Richardson, has been hit with a heavy fine as part of a tax defaulters investigation

In the latest defaulters list, Mr Richardson is exposed for having to hand over 38,251 euro along with 51,529 euro in interest payments for underdeclaring income tax and capital gains tax.

Revenue has also issued a penalty of 19,126 euro on the business management consultant - with an address at Serpentine Avenue, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 - forcing him to make an overall settlement of 108,906 euro to the state coffers.

Do people here think that Michael Martin should make a statement condemning this behaviour ?

Michael Martin is absolutely complicit in the catostrophic mismanagement of our economy that has brought us to the brink of failure as a state. Anything he says sounds completely hollow, my abiding memory is him standing four square behind Bungling Bertie as he was announcing his forced resignation.
We need a complete clear out of all Bertie's comrades.
